Did you know that skunks can be active in the winter? I sure didn't, until today at least. The dogs were out as I made the coffee this morning when they began barking, something they don't usually do at the crack of dawn. I called them back in, but they were clearly agitated, and Hudson the wonder dog was in full-on war mode, barking at the back fence (apologies to sleeping neighbors) and resisting my recall. Then I caught a whiff of the skunk spray, and knew just what happened, but thankfully, it seems the skunk was safely in the other yard when my guys encountered him, because nobody actually got spray on them, a lucky outcome to be sure. After I got the dogs inside I spotted Mr. Smelly in front of the house, by far the biggest looking skunk I had ever seen (though much of that was likely winter coat), waddling down the street, clearly put off by his encounter with unbridled canine aggression. Hopefully he found he way back home without getting hit by a car.

Today is Ash Wednesday. I don't think it's supposed to be "happy" Ash Wednesday, so good luck to those fasting or doing other forms of penance.

So, uh, who here has watched the live-action Far Cry 3 series? Even though I love FC3 and play it often, I never watched it until today. I didn't think I'd like it. The guy that does Vaas, though, man, there's some talent. The guy you see in the game is the same in the series. Same actor. It's good stuff, a little morbid, yes? I'm watching it thinking, 'I'm going to hell for enjoying this'...

'I feel like I'm pissing on Hollywood!'

Haha, that's so bad...shows society has gotten almost as bad as the Romans. I expect to see gladiatorial arenas pop up here in the next 30 years...God help me, I'll be in the front row wearing a foam finger that says 'Spartacus!'...
